Junior Stopka

Junior Stopka is a tall, dark and disturbing giant of the Midwest comedy scene. Voted The Chicago Reader’sBest Stand-Up Comedian and named one of the Top Four Comics to Watch by The Chicago Tribune, the Humbolt Park native’s exaggerated physicality, pitch-black outlook and mocking disdain for tired comedy tropes have earned him both widespread critical acclaim and blood-curdling shrieks of abject terror. Co-host of the popular Senorita Weiner’s Top Secret Humor and Ice Cream Social Club show and an alumnus of Montreal’s Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, 2013 marks Stopka’s fourth year performing at TBS Just For Laughs Chicago. His new podcast, Eat Shit and Die, debuts this July.
